Age-old question: pronunciation
Alright, I just want to find out the majority opinion on how to pronounce our beloved manufacturer's name.
1) Porrshhhh
2) Porsh-uh
3) other? (Porsheeee)

Porsch-uh
No silent letters in German.

Easy answer. Just listen to any Porsh-uh television commercial. You will not hear them say "Porsh". It is Porsh-uh, two syllables.

I don't think I've been to a rennlist group meet where anybody has said porscha instead of porsh. I guess thats a good thing about us cheap 944 owners. lol
